I have never seen it here but I am sure they would stock it in the garden centre with pics on the container, maybe "polvo de raiz" or similar )

OK its not been easy, and I have hat to wake a couple of people up, but one line of inquiry is to ask for a product with Auxins in (the growth hormone) andin Spanish they are auxinas (phyto-hormones, plant hormones), fitohormonas (phyto-hormones, plant hormones).

for Christmas I will buy you a chocolate orange (don't tell JDR as he will want one as well). I will have to find a bigger piece of paper as that's a lot more than polvo de raiz to write down.

Hi
I bought some recently in Leroy Merlin in San Fernando. It is made by Compo and is called 'Hormonas de Enraizamiento Rootone F' I have also seen something similar in liquid from. I think they sell it in Avilla as well.
I am hoping it will help my cuttings to take, not had much luck so far.

How long are you leaving your cutting to take.

I have taken cuttings from dozens of top fruit each year, and they all survive.

Been in Carrefour this morning, they have 3 english books on gardening in Sapin, on general and separate ones for fruit and vegetables. Most of the English language newspapers also have gardening sections, might be worth having a look at some on line

Incidentally, what are the most indestructable plants know to man? Indoor and outdoor. I´ll go and stock up.
Took a phone pic for you but colour is not too good.
